4 As predicted the county ticket of the
straight Republicans was bolted by the
Independents or anti prohibition wing
of the party and A. b. Cummings and
Adam Baker placed in nominations as
representatives. If this ticket is sup
ported as desired by the Democrats, no
great injury need be expected, for the
prohibition Democrats, seeing no alter
native but to vote for Republicans for
republican representatives will cast
their votes for the prohibition or straight
Republican candidates and the number
from this source will be equal to the
shrinkage from the Republican ranks.
II they do refuse to join with the
Democrats, but vote the Independent
ticket, it is bound to work mischief, if
only to give the victory to the Demo-
Gratis. The Greenback and Union Labor
parties state convention is to-day
((Wednesday) and the Democrats to-
morrow. It is thought that each party.
will put a full ticket in the field, for the
Greenback leader says that his party is
getting tired of carving on Irritation
with the domineering parties Of the
state and desires to stand alone.
